Iran on Saturday blamed Israel for a strike on Syrian capital Damascus, saying it "reserves the right to respond" after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said four of its members had died. 

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanani said Tehran would respond "at the appropriate time and place" and condemned "an escalation in aggressive and provocative attacks" by Israel.

Israel has not responded to the strike claims.
